If Kasparov came online and said 1.a4 is the best move in the game.
How stupid would you look if you agreed with him?
Some title players just don't get it.
Some things in chess go above an individuals title rank or performance!
Their is an hierarchy of chess knowledge which has been set forth through out history by millions of chess players for hundreds of years!
Chess players have been talking about chess for hundreds of years.
They have even wrote books about chess for hundreds of years.
In recent years they have began using other methods of talking/writing about chess.
From live streams, Youtube Videos, Articles, Blogs, etc all geared to talking about chess!
Engines and Databases are simply newly added tools/features nothing more!
I find it absurb you are wanting to agree with 1 individual person over a group of people.

I think I got my question answered, and then some! ;) thanks to those who did answer, though.
You are welcome
Now you know you can play a variation with 4...Qb6 against the Advanced French.
What is your plan against 3.Nc3 or 3.Nd2??
You have a variation which you can play in the Advanced French.
Now let me be the first one to introduce you into a line which you can play against 3.Nc3 and 3.Nd2!!
Which is known as:
French Defence, Fort Knox Variation
YEAH BOY!!!!!
The line can be played against either 3.Nc3 or 3.Nd2
In fact, the lines tranpose into each other!
Yeah I plan to right an article about it.
It will be so fresh and amazing.
Amazing how fast these posts train wreck...Someone asks 1 simple question, and it turns into...well...a train wreck.
Agreed and that is the biggest problem with this site.
Fiveofswords often posts interesting stuff on openings for people of my lowly level, but seems to be regularly attacked for it, mainly by so-called "titled" members.
Their motives for so doing are, frankly, a mystery to me; and as for an NM coming on to attack a fellow member for his bad English?? ...What the hell is the point of that?
Until the Moderators keep the chess forums on point, I will continue to be a very occasional visitor. I have a lot to learn about chess and I learn far more elsewhere, where this petty squabbling is actively discouraged.
This post is just 1 example of how bad pretty much any post on "Openings" can be. You get hundreds of opinions ranging from titled players, to players that wouldnt know the difference between an opening and a hole in the gound, but because a chess engine told them +.2 its a good line.
Dont misunderstand what im saying...there are some good players here (titled and untitled) that know there opening stuff.
